Matt Bloor

Owner and founder of the Core Group, which includes CorePT Fitness, Core Strength, and CoreGym, Matt brings a lifetime of commitment to sports, health, and fitness. His passion has driven him to build a career as both an athlete and a sport and exercise scientist.

As an athlete, Matt captained his country at the U18 schoolboy level in football and later had a successful semi-professional career. Following an injury that ended his football career, he transitioned to hybrid athleticism, where he continues to excel. With an Ironman personal best of 9 hours 51 minutes and a sub-17-minute 5K time, Matt’s dedication is evident. His achievements also include multiple marathons, half marathons, half Ironmans, and now, HYROX competitions. His ultimate goal is to compete in both the Ironman and HYROX World Championships, an accomplishment yet to be achieved.

Academically, Matt holds a First-Class Honours degree in Sports Performance and has experience working with clients across all fitness levels, from those new to exercise seeking lifestyle changes to elite athletes at the top of their game. He brings this expertise to CoreGym, helping members push their limits and reach new heights.

He’s no stranger to pushing limits. With multiple HYROX races under his belt, Danny has earned podium finishes, smashed PBs, and represented Team Core in the Chicago 2025 HYROX World Championships.
